2008 RZR
Voltage Regulator Relocation

Information:

Tired or the battery warning light blinking on your 2008
Polaris RZR? The 2008 Polaris RZR (all generations) have a problem keeping
the battery voltage up with just the radiator cooling fan and stock halogen
headlights running. If you add more lights or other accessories, you will
most likely have even more problems.

A big part of the problem is your voltage regulator
overheating. The problem with the 2008 voltage regulator is the location
does not get any airflow and the regulator overheats. Once the
regulator gets hot, it no longer charges the electrical system.

The 2008 Polaris RZR Voltage Regulator is under the driver's seat.

For 2009 model RZRs, Polaris moved the regulator up front by
the radiator so it could get some fresh air and cool more effectively.

The 2009 Polaris RZR Voltage Regulator is up front by the radiator.

The best solution for your 2008 RZR is to relocate the
voltage regulator up front to the same location as the 2009 model.

You can cut & splice the wires to add more length.
Just make sure that your connections are solid and you shrink wrap the areas
that have been cut.

Or if you are at all concerned with cutting into your
factory harness, there is another option. Autotrend EFI has a plug and
play harness that makes the job really easy. Not cutting is required.
The Autotrend harness uses factory Delphi plugs to create an extension that
makes this upgrade a piece of cake.
